Armadillo.create_tile(parameters=None, parameter_sensitivities=None, contact_length=0.3, closure=None, **kwargs)[source]#

Create a microtile based on the parameters that describe the wall thicknesses.

Thickness parameters are used to describe the inner radius of the outward facing branches

Parameters:

parameters (np.array) – One evaluation point with one parameter is used. This parameter describes the thickness of the wall. The parameters must be a two-dimensional np.array, where the value must be between 0.01 and 0.49
parameter_sensitivities (np.ndarray) – Describes the parameter sensitivities with respect to some design variable. In case the design variables directly apply to the parameter itself, they evaluate as delta_ij
contact_length (float) – the length of the wall that contacts the other microstructure
closure (str) – parametric dimension that needs to be closed, given in the form “x_min”, “x_max”, etc.

Returns:
